An Amateur Tinker’s Experience.
A well known merchant of this city,
who is of a saving diSposition and of a
mechanical turn of mind, has an incli-
nation to attempt to do everything. He
considers nothing well done that he.
does not do himself. The other evening
one of the clocks at his home refused to
keep time, so he thought he would rc-
pair it. He had repaired many a clock
before and had not the least doubt of
his Skill. He took all the wheels and
pinions apart and cleaned them. This
occupied the entire evening, and when
he retired he dumped all the cogwhccls
and parts of the clock into a drawer in
his desk. The merchant is unfortunate,
at least at this time, in possessing a son
of mischievous disposition who happen—
ed to come across the drawer full of
wheels. He knew what his father had
been doing and thought he would have
a little fun. He went to his room where
he had a wheel that had been taken
from another clock and placed this in
the drawer with the other “fixings.”
That night the father commenced his
work of putting the separate parts to-
gether. He tried it several times, but
always had one wheel left over. The
next night he tried the problem once
more. Again he failed. For two weeks
he puzzled over his mechanical problem,
always having a wheel left over for
which he could not account. Finally
the son, who had been enjoying the
sport, told his parent of his little joke.
Then he wished he had made no confes-
sion.-—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Branches and Mustangs.
Tenderfeef, by the way. are very apt
to mix up the terms "lironcho” and
“mustang.” The mustang is literally
a wild horsewthat is, one whose fore—
fathers have never been in captivity and
whose ancestry is believed to be derived
from the houses of the old Spanish in-
vaders—while: the bronchos are the chil-
dren of cow ponies, or horses which
have been used and which have been
turned out on the range for the pur-
pose of breeding. Those horses are
branded, and the colts belong to’ the
man ,whose brand is on the mother.
Horses are rounded up every year, and
the colts are caught and branded by the
owners , of the mares with which they
are found running, and when they be-
come of breakable ago they are taken
by the men whose brand they bear. Of
course there is more or less of false
branding. but where a "hustler” is
found engaged in this industry he is
generally sent to a place where horses
are not supposed to exist and where
there is no tcmptatfain for him to in-
dulge the fad.——New York Mail and

Artesiun “'ells In South Dakota.
Mr. Duncan McFarlanc of South Da-
kota was talking of the great artcsian
wells fed, it is supposed, by snow from
the Rockies, following the porous sand-
stone at a depth of freni 800 to 1,500
feet below the surface of the ground, and
told many interesting stories. He in-
stanced one case of a town’s having
bored for water, and after hard work
having secured a well from which the
water vould hardly rise to the surface.
One Sunday, though, the well broke
loose,'and as the water flowed away un-
der the snow its course could be marked
by the steam rising into the air. The
water made its way 'to a farm a few
miles from town and there settled. The
owner came post haste to town, and
consulting a lawyer was told that he
had a first rate basis for damages.
The suit was instituted. The snow
disappeared, the water had been con-
trolled finally by the town, and the
farm remained a great mudbank. The
farmer was almost in despair, but final-
ly decided to put in a crop anyhow.
Hot weather came. and the country suf-
fered for rain. That inudbank contain-
ed a sufficient deposit of moisture, and
the crop was in fine condition. The
farmer made his way again to town.
“Say, Jim,” he remarked to his at-
torney, “how is that suit getting
along.”
“Oh, it is coming along all right,”
was the reply, “but I believe the court
will deduct the amount of the damages
from the price of your crop and award
